weekend of awesome

Sep 28, 2010 11:08

had a Kristen, Jamey and Rachel for a visit!

went to see A Little Night Music with Elaine Stritch and Bernadette Peters. Truly amazing. That rendition of "Send in the Clowns" was shockingly chilling considering what schlock it usually is when taken out of context. "I thought you'd want what I'd want.. Sorry my dear ( Read more... )

You know, it's an interesting statement when a 20 page PEL is not considered in the Epic class.

you poor devils!

but it's your own fault for running such an awesome game! ^_^

A Little Night Music is terrific. "Send in the Clowns", in particular, is one of the types of love songs I actually like--the Well, This Sucks, Like I Knew it Would sort.* And the rest of the music is awesome for other reasons.

*The other type I'm fond of is This Is Gonna Suck, but What the Hell, appropriately enough.

hahaha, I can see that! Yes, it's a great musical with a lot of really good pieces in it!

I love "A Little Night Music". It's one of my favorite pieces.

I occasionally want to throw bricks when I hear soppy versions of Send in the Clowns (esp with actual clown outfits - I'm looking at you, Winter Olympics) instead of performances that get the context.

oy vey, so true. It's not a song to be overdone, and Bernadette Peters delivers it in a very sad, understated fashion.

My pel only came in about 19 pages - so not epic either. :P

Next time, use bigger fonts. Not all of us count words like Melissa does. ;-)

If I had had another day, I suspect I could have ekked out another 4-5 pages. :p

Eh, don't worry about Mark. That's what Vegas is for, right? Anyhow, they made him take a 15 point spread on the bet, so he would not have won even if we had been 14 points ahead. Yay "stupid tax". :-) Hey, if we've only lost $20 on gambling here, that's pretty good, right?

They WERE up by 15 at one point... They should have been up by 21!

Blah.
